History
Dynastic China
In the early 7th century, during the Tang dynasty, the urban center of Jinming County (simplified Chinese: 金明县; traditional Chinese: 金明縣; pinyin: Jīnmíng Xiàn) was located in present-day Diezigou Village in Yanhewan.[4]
During the Song dynasty, Ansai Fort (Chinese: 安塞堡; pinyin: Ānsāi Bǎo) was built in the ancient city of Ansai, located in present-day Yanhewan.[4]
Second United Front
On September 12, 1937, according to an order from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Government, Ansai County, which governed the region including Yanhewan, was re-organized into 7 districts governing 42 townships.[4] One such district was Yanhewan, which governed six townships, including the eponymous Yanhewan township.[4]
People's Republic of China
In March 1956, Ansai County's districts were re-organized, and Yanhewan District was abolished, replaced with the directly administered township of Yanhewan.[3]
